The Onion on Trump:

‘This Will Be The End Of Trump’s Campaign,’ Says Increasingly Nervous Man For Seventh Time This Year

800.jpg

SALISBURY, MD—Repeating identical comments he had made in June, July, August, September, and twice in November, increasingly nervous local man Aaron Howe responded to Donald Trump’s call to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. Monday by once again stating this would be the end of the Republican frontrunner’s campaign, sources confirmed. “Well, that’s it—you just can’t say those kinds of things and expect to be taken seriously any longer,” said an anxious Howe, his voice quavering slightly as he spoke aloud the very same words he had previously uttered in reaction to remarks about Mexicans, women, the disabled, former POW John McCain, and a number of other targeted parties. “That’s the final nail in the coffin right there. There’s no way he’s coming back from this one.” At press time, a visibly tense Howe was steadily amassing the angst and exasperation that would be unleashed in his seventh expletive-filled exclamation of the year when he catches sight of the newest set of GOP poll numbers.
 
I've wondered about how this would be possible. Reinterpretation of the natural-born citizen clause?

I don't understand law enough to take a guess, but I remember from HS Gov't class being told you "have to be born within the borders of the US." Clearly that's not how this is being applied in Cruz's case (or Obama, depending on your facts.) Cruz renounced his Canadian citizenship and only retains the US citizenship of the other parent.

It's an interesting one but to be honest that clause seems outdated. As an aside, I like having dual citizenship (US/Canadian)--an insurance policy of sorts
 
The Americans seem to delight in proving how thick they are. The guy who wants to give everybody healthcare, and crack down on gun ownership to try and stop mass shootings gets the lowest opinion rating in history, meanwhile this brain dead racist is popular!! Baffling.

There is no small irony that people (not just you) keep talking about Obama's approval rating being "historically low" or "lower than Bush" as a weapon to "prove" how dumb Americans are when the numbers they are referencing are completely incorrect.

Generally if you want to call someone stupid you shouldn't do it by saying a bunch of stupid stuff.

Obama's gallup rating is current 47%. http://www.gallup.com/poll/113980/Gallup-Daily-Obama-Job-Approval.aspx

Not only is this not even close to the lowest in history, not even close to how low GW Bush got, it's not even Obama's lowest rating!

Bush had 22% approval in his final year.

Obama's approval rating in his final year v. Bush in final year: Obama is currently over double GW Bush's rating (114% higher).

... oh and Clinton leads over Trump in a general with a decent lead; Trump doesn't even poll better than Sanders in a general election (tied last I saw ... and Sanders is a COMMUNIST! don't you know ... Trump can't even poll higher than a dirty red!).

Republicans are very, very dumb (at least the current batch) but "Republicans" do not equal "Americans" despite how much the rest of the world wishes it were true for the lulz.
